Rollerblading: How to drop in for beginners 

I love how you’re not just about technical stuff when you talk skating. You’ve got this skate wisdom, like I’m listening to a therapist :D

Also wear pads when you learn to drop in. You will fall, you will get scretches. They might not be bad, but they will hurt, give you more fear next time and might give you some hard weeks. I wear pads, but I recently couldn't walk for a few days due to impact on my left knee. It was really swollen. If you just start learning (good and fitting) pads make things a lot easier. And yeah, I look like the baby at the local (medium sized) halfpipe. But most other people just sit around doing nothing, while I actually skate, and that's worth it for me.

Undoubtedly the most useful video I've found - thank you! (that kid happily going "wheeeeee!" in the background though, hahah)

Great video! Such useful tips for beginners. Dropping in can be super scary, so I'm sure this will help people dealing with that fear. Also liked what you said about wearing a helmet. So true!

I watched your video this morning and then went to the skatepark and for the first time ever was able to get back up the ramps without climbing on my hands! Thanks so much. I feel like a proper blader now.

bro, once again you talk about the mechanics of skating, ive been looking for someone like this for a while :))) love ittt

Thank you for you videos :) I restarted agressive inline now, after a break of 20 years 😊

probably one of the most informative videos to what to pay attention to when going up or down a quarterpipe

Recién encontré tu canal y tus explicaciones son geniales!!! Gracias 🇦🇷🇦🇷

Spectacular content brother..

Trying to get into this in my town is next to impossible. As a kid it was massive and i could never really afford it. Now as an adult, i hate the gym and need to keep fit so i got myself a second hand set of usd carbon something of the other so just going tto whack my headphones on and get out there.

Thank u so much!!! This really helped me!!

Eyes on the prize

what kind of jeans are those?

Thanks

Today was my first day at a skate park and I was about to fall so I put my arm on a different ramp and a kid ran me over with a bike and yelled for f**k sake

"Leaning into your fear..." Words to live by ^_^

0:54 the cloud looks like a duck

those words about the helmet. truue shit, back in the 90s i keept forgetting it and got smashed. and i was a big vert driver mostly, soo when i crashed i crashed hard. once flew out in a fence and then out into the road on the other side. Just wear the damn helmet for real!!! i was just lucky cause i was about 7 meters up in the air full speed, so lucky to still be able to ride with out drolling

I grew up roller blading and my husband recently bought me some new blades. He skateboards and I wanted to do something while I was there with him. I want to get into something that’s fun and also a workout. Will this allow me to get that good workout by practicing ?

just came to your channel from back to blading. really good channel. subbed. happy christmas!!

Wow this video is very informational for beginners. I haven’t found any good encouraging content like yours. Thanks so much for this video! ❤️

Awesome video mate, love the tutorial about dropping in....take a while to get comfortable committing to the drop in. Am sure you have inspired many people to take up the sport. The inline industry is lucky to have you!!!! Props from Australia!!!!

34 years old and my daughter wants to skate I haven't skated since the first roces 5th element came out this has actually helped me remember before I go out and splat infront of my oldest 😂 great channel will definitely check the rest of your vids.

Came back into skating after 7 years, and it’s going well but I do need to get my balance back

Im 40 years old this year and getting back to skating. Idc if i look like a dufus w a helmet, and wrist gaurds, i used to skitch in manhattan on yellow cabs. I hit a huge crater prolly going 50-55 mph and knocked myself unconscious. But anyway, excited to go jump on some rails again. We had to build grind plates to our lightenings 🤣🤣🤣. Ya'll dont know how good you got it. I had the Senate Cnotes... W the Senate Hot Rods... Fuckin Aye lets get it!!!

The swing set reference just changed things for me thanks man

Thanks - great vid. I'm ok on these skills but very much still a noob so tips like these are really appreciated. Love seeing the experts nailing all the crazy jaw-dropping shit but great to have basic-level visual support like yours too. Keep em coming, I need them! Thanks again 👊

All I know is "skating is stopping". Braking & stopping is a challenge for me,i can skate more but when it comes to stopping or braking I have a challenge. As long as you can Stop/brake then you have the FREEDOM to move freely on your skates.💯 Am from Kenya. Just resumed skating & I want to focus on it only hoping to be the best in my country 🇰🇪🇰🇪🔥

I tried dropping in yesterday and I scraped my arm and bruised my tailbone. I'm going back today to try again

I wish I had seen this video earlier... I just yeeted myself into the halfpipe and fell 😂

I watched a lot of your video and I really like the way you talk about "how the brain can control you". It's always a good reminder to know what to focus on. Thank you for all your videos... It helps a lot.

Great video, I just started rollerblading and this is very informative. I enjoy your honestly about just pushing yourself into your fear.

I'm getting some aggressive inlines next week and this has helped remove some of the fear I had about starting. Thank you.

hey buddy my boyfriend started skating again and he wants me to get into it with him little does he know i used to blade too...He said you had mentioned a website that sold used skates but he can find the video where you mention it...it be cool if you could let me know TYVM

Great tips from experience! Thanks for sharing. Haven't seen easiest powerslide guide yet. Going to try it today.

Not to be disagreeable but i don't see bailing on a bmx bike a possibility when dropping in. Its commitment also for most ppl.

If there are less people at the park you can also ask a friend to hold your hand for dropping in because it helps to Lean forward and it gives you more confidence 👍(great video)

I did hockey for 2 years and I'm getting into this

Man!! really really thank you for this video!! From Barcelona bro, i'll get back my skates and drop in!! Arigatô sensei!

I love how you explained stuff. Subscribed!

It's soooo frustrating to see videos of people calling roller-blading "Inline-Skating"!!! Like NO BRO! If your not tricking on Street/Vert & your just skating frontwards/backwards, crisscrossing or jumping off or up onto a small curb it's not inline skating...shit even doing a 180 off a curb isn't IMO..Ya gotta have the right skates and actually do the shit. Sad thing is this is such a dying sport 🫤 We were poor when I started, used yard sale skates. Broke them in a week just jumping. I was like 6. Got another pair, but new & same thing. After months & my parents had seen this kid & crazy improvements...skating all day-everday during this one summer break. I joined a crew, they bought me my first inlines which were a pair of RBs & then over time some K2's, Roces.etc.... we hit up a nice sponsorship & then I moved. Kicked some major ass as 10/11/12YO. Some of the best childhood memories.

How do yoy go up the quieter pipe

Thanks alot man, did my first drop in today

I been learning a lot from you thanks im making my videos practicing i need to lean a lot more

So i want to go the the skating Park with my friend and skate with her but I have don't know skates are better for tricks. Roller skates or Rollerblades? I have Rollerblades bud I don't know if i should switch despite being in them for so long

Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world. He died for the people that you hate, the people that are neglected daily, the people that are abusing drugs, he died for murderers, thieves, homosexuals, people that cheat on their partners, people that falsely accuse others, and more. Jesus is the only way to heaven. Anything else is a deception. With Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, He set an example for us. We now work out our salvation by changing the way that we live by imitating Christ. We are called to no longer live in sin, but fight against it for the rest of our lives with the help of Jesus

I just learnt to drop in today thanks to ur video!!! I’m too scared to go up the ramp though 😂 do I need to buy aggressive inline skates with the grind blocks? Or can I do it with my ordinary 4 wheel skates to get back up? I’m terrified of getting up there and just rolling back haha

I ice skate and I'm willing to learn this sport

I love trick blades and skatebord...to me . I was quicker to drop in on blades bc i was already use to skating as a kid with roller skating and cheap regular blades... i was afraid of the skateboard flying away from me

I wish I could wear pants like you.

I was doing a t stop, and I hurt my knee bad cause I was going so fast and bent it unnaturally. I already have pretty weak knees, ik arthritis runs in my family 🤷

I’m thinking this might be different from skateboarding but it’s probably similar.

Cool skateparks.

Again great mental tips for anyone to understand. I've thought a lot about the similarities between pumping up and down ramps and propelling yourself in a swing. I know I recently watched a tutorial where the advice was pushing through your heels or toes depending if going up or down, and I thought it was a great advice on the subject too.

Hi bro it's been a minute since I skated right this video clip gave me A pointer thank dude keep up the good work dude

My friend says that i am wrng about helmets he says it's of no use Now I know that I am right

Can u do tutorial how to not kill yourself on sktepark like im serious everytimr i fall on back

great video, what kind of skates are those. I love how they look like the Jordan 12s

I was started again after 12 y en fall 2 times verry hard and afraid again but this video helps me a lot

jordans x skates? dope i think frank morales makes skate boots that look like shoes like that

Very informative while keeping interested. Thanks

Thanks for making great content. I've been out of the game for awhile but found my old Oxygen Argon 3.1's a few weeks ago. Just picked up the Michel Prado Gawd boots- can't wait to get started!!

not scared of falling forward its just falling backwards

I managed down an 18” transition ok, getting the feel for that concave part that never seemed to end. Then I decided to try the 3’ transition, by all the rules, and IDK what happened, except it felt like someone dropped me out of an airplane and I landed with my wrist(blowing the wrist guard loose[saved from fracture]), my tail, and hip demolished in the process, and screaming like a thousand babies! This experience has made me not want to try that curvy transition again. I have made an earthquake shock absorber(rubber inflatable donut) to strap on my hips, but I still don’t want to try again! 😀

Why can’t my local skate parks ever be empty like that lmao

Did you thank the out of control kid for filling in for Ray?

Yesss stopping!!!

The force is strong with this one!

I am going to the park tomorrow so scared but hope this works

I am not going to lie I tuned in to see the type of skate you are wearing

my skates get delivered tomorrow, cant wait to this

Do I need specific rollerblades for a skatepark?

Thanks a lot

Grate video keep them coming there helping me a lot 👍

Hello! Wonderful video. I am looking to buy a good pair of aggressive skates. Would you have any recommendations for beginners?

Solid help for me, thanks!

How do you know if you are a left or right footed skater

"Come off as Europe" lmao

Thanks this made me improve my skating

why does my lower back get sore so fast?

Be honest man , tell us that we are going to fall really hard , and helmet is not gonna help because our hands and legs are gonna hurt like a mother . XD . But you are a kind person I guess .

Cool vid! I got a rollerblade njr for the kid. Is it any good to drop in or carve with an anti rocker setup?

What different between inline skate n roller blade?

Thank god now i can use my mma skills

Your tips are exactly the same Ias what I was telling myself last month standing on a quarterpipe. I'm 38 years old and haven't skated for 22 years. Last month I went to a skatepark on my old Roces Majestic 12 with my 10 year old cousin. I felt like a solid piece of wood but wanted to show her my skills. After 22 years I dropped in a 2 m high quarterpipe and didn't fell. I still got it and it felt so fking awesome! My style was crap and my old skates with 100 kg on top sounded according to my cousin like a jet fighter! I'll show her this video! thnx!

Bro I go to that park in springs this is insane

Much respect bro . That is all...

I’ve been looking for videos like this! Thanks this really helped me with my roller blading!

Great video. Thank you.

How long does it usually take to get used to a pair skates.... got some today?

oh my gosh, you are very good at explaining, I got a relative friend and her brother is is maybe like 5-6 he went down a relay steep ramp and when he falls he gets right back up, he has pads and a helmet and he isn’t even scared, I was scared to death I only went on the baby ramp which made me kinda upset Cause I REALLY WANTED to go on the big ramps but I was scared so I’m going again this weekend and hopefully I’m not scared anymore 🍎

Great review man! I'm turning 30 this year and want to pick up blading. However, when you get a little older, you're not as fearless as when you were growing up lol. Thanks for breaking it all down

it rly help to know how to power stop tho

Havent sropped in since I was 15. Onmy skated parks in the winter growing up . Everything was and still is street to ke. Can grind anything still at 35 years and fat but a little nervous about dropping in again

My son wants me to use my skates at the skatepark with him. Didn't have much faith since I haven't actually been skating for close to 10 years but after watching this and some of your other videos I think I'm going to give it a shot. I'm only 26 so I shouldn't get too hurt haha

What are the name of the skates you got on??

Man I can’t walk without tripping how am I supposed to do this

"Simple but effective" - H

Thank you. You are a great master. Trying to rollerblade out of the bowl led me to your videos. Hope i can achieve that soon cuz it's damn embarrassing 😆🤜🏼
